After everything was settled, Qin Fan came out from Chen Kangxiong's place and prepared to go home.
It was still two hours before the train left for Qingchuan Town from the county seat. Qin Fan was bored and went to the antique market in the county seat for a walk.
The antique market is not big, and there are all kinds of items on the roadside stalls. The stall owner is sitting next to him with a small stool and shouting.
Qin Fan looked left and right. He didn't have much idea about these things. The only thing he heard from some old people in the village was what cultural relics were unearthed in the tombs.
Qin Fan turned around an intersection and was about to leave, when suddenly a vase placed on a stall next to him caught his eye.
"Young man, pick whatever you like!" The boss quickly solicited business.
Qin Fan picked up the vase and frowned. There were several cracks in the body of the vase.
However, if this flaw is ignored, the entire bottle appears to be quite well-established, with even patina and gloss, and it has been aged for a long time. Holding the bottle, Qin Fan saw the official seal on the bottom of the bottle.
"Young man, you have such a sharp eye. This is official porcelain from the Song Dynasty." The boss introduced it immediately.
Qin Fan smiled and said secretly, "Even if it is really an artifact from the Song Dynasty, the cracks cannot be repaired. It's a pity."
Just as he was about to put it down and walk away, Qin Fan suddenly didn't know what was going on, and a repair talisman suddenly appeared in his mind.
Qin Fan was slightly startled. Could it be that this vase can be repaired with a repair charm? After confirming it in his mind again, Qin Fan finally confirmed that it could be repaired with a repair charm.
Qin Fan suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked, "How much does it cost, boss?"
He doesn't understand jargon, such as drilling holes, picking up leaks, opening doors, etc.
The boss was a middle-aged man. Seeing that Qin Fan was a young boy and an amateur, he immediately stretched out two fingers.
"Two thousand?" Qin Fan frowned and asked me to think about it.
The boss' eyelids tightened, "Young man, this is a genuine product from the official kiln, I'm talking about 20,000!"
He received this porcelain from the countryside for 2,000 yuan, although he knew that it would not fetch a good price if it had cracks.
After leaving it for so many days, no one bought it. Now a customer finally came, and he wanted to lower the price and sell it at a higher price.
Qin Fan calmly put the vase down, shook his head and said, "You'd better keep this crack to yourself." He pretended to walk away.
"Young man, don't leave in a hurry, let's discuss it later!" the boss said anxiously.
Qin Fan didn't say much to the other party, turned around and said, "I'll let you earn a little, and if you don't pay a penny more, it'll be five thousand!"
The boss pretended to be heartbroken and gritted his teeth as if he was cutting his flesh. Finally, he slapped his thigh and said, "Five thousand is five thousand!"
"Young man, come back if you have anything to buy!" The boss wrapped the things and handed them to Qin Fan. When he walked away, the boss looked at Qin Fan's walking back and said with disdain, "What a fucking fool!"
Holding the vase, Qin Fan walked around the street to see if there was anything to buy.
Some passers-by curiously asked Qin Fan how much he paid for the vase that was not in good condition. Qin Fan told the truth. Those people laughed at Qin Fan for being stupid. Qin Fan was not angry and just grinned.
After walking out of the antique market, he passed by the home appliance store. Qin Fan went in and picked out a 43-inch LCD TV and a washing machine.
He thought that now that he had some money, he could slowly improve his family's conditions.
There used to be a color TV set that my eldest brother bought when he got married. Later, the family ran into debt and was forced to sell it.
And by buying a washing machine, my sister-in-law and my mother will no longer have to wash clothes in the cold winter and get cold hands and feet.
The other party promised to deliver the goods, so Qin Fan didn't have to wait for the bus at the station and took the delivery van home.
After the staff delivered the appliances to his home and installed them, Qin Zhen scolded Qin Fan for spending money recklessly, but he turned around and couldn't hide his happiness and was busy watching TV.
Since the TV at home was sold, he can only listen to the radio every day.
The mother looked at the brand new washing machine and smiled from ear to ear.
"Xiaofan, what is this?" Cuilan stood aside and stared at the vase behind her and asked curiously.
Hearing this, Qin Fan picked up the vase from the ground and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I passed by the antique market and bought a vase."
Cuilan opened it and took a look, and immediately frowned, "Xiaofan, why is this vase cracked? How much does it cost?"
"Five thousand!" Qin Fan lowered his voice. He was afraid that his father would hear him spend five thousand and scold him for being a prodigal.
But my father's hearing was very good. When he heard that the broken vase cost 5,000 yuan, he immediately jumped up and said, "You brat, it's only 5,000 yuan to buy a broken vase. You have too much money, don't you?"
This five thousand yuan was their family's previous income. It would be strange for Qin Zhen not to be angry if he bought a broken bottle with this five thousand yuan.
Qin Fan felt depressed and quickly explained, "Dad, this vase can be sold for 50,000 yuan."
"Fifty thousand? Just dream!"
Qin Zhen was even more furious. He grabbed the crutches in the corner and rushed over. After this period of recuperation, Qin Zhen's legs were much sharper than before.
Qin Fan had no choice but to run out of the yard. His father chased him out of the yard and before his crutch could be swung down, several villagers came to the door.
"Hey, what are you doing, Brother Qin?" Several villagers walked in with smiles.
Qin Zhen had no choice but to take back his crutches, turned to glare at his son, and said, "It's okay, I'm discussing life with my son."
Qin Fan hid far away and curled his lips and said, "This discussion of life is too rough."
"Second brother, what good things did your family buy? I see the trucks arriving at your door!" Second Aunt Li asked curiously, looking towards the yard.
Whenever something big happens to any house in the village, everyone will be curious.
"Oh!" Qin Zhen was startled and slightly proud, "Xiaofan went to the county town to buy an LCD TV and a washing machine."
LCD TVs have not yet become popular in rural areas, not to mention that they are still as big as 42 inches. Every household uses a big-ass color TV, and some even have black and white TVs.
When everyone heard this, they couldn't stop being curious and rushed into the house to look at the newly purchased home appliances. They immediately praised Qin Fan and said that Qin Zhen had raised such a worthy son.
Qin Fan made some perfunctory remarks, wrapped the vase and put it in the cabinet. Then he walked out of the room and looked up, just as Chen Yourong walked into the yard.
"Sister-in-law!" Qin Fan grinned. When he saw Chen Yourong, he felt cordial.
Chen Yourong Lian came in at a leisurely pace, "Xiao Fan, I heard that you bought new appliances for your home. What, are you planning to use them for your wedding?"
Uh... Qin Fan scratched his head and said depressedly: "Sister-in-law, please don't hurt me. I don't even have a girlfriend, so how can I get married?"
"Then what do you think...how are you doing, sister-in-law?" Chen Yourong joked, puffing up her proud chest and walking up to Qin Fan.
Qin Fan blushed and his heart skipped a beat. He glanced at the two lumps of flesh on his chest and made an excuse, "Sister-in-law, I'm going to go out and work for a while."
He said and ran out as if running for his life.
"What are you afraid of!" Chen Yourong covered his mouth and smiled, "Come to my sister-in-law's house in the evening, and she will stew meat for you."
"Sister-in-law, I recently lost weight and didn't eat at night!" Qin Fan hurriedly found an excuse, but after he said it, he wanted to slap himself in the mouth. This damn excuse is so deceiving. He has lost weight despite his small body!
Chen Yourong wasn't angry either. He glared at you and said, "Look at your worthless look. You must come tonight. If you don't come, you will regret it!"
